This is it. This is the final episode of the first season! I just want to thank you all for joining in our adventure for this first season. It has been a blast to see the positive reaction from our fans and to see all the new subscribers. I want you to know that I personally appreciate you guys for subscribing and liking my videos. I've enjoyed this adventure and I hope we can start our next adventure soon. Anyways enjoy our last episode for a while entitled "Pride of Sodor"

This episode is just a classic at showing Thomas' cheeky behavior. Thomas pulls into Knapford one day on time. Sir Topham Hatt is very pleased and tells a friend of his that "That is the Pride of Sodor" pointing at Thomas. Thomas thinks that he is the Pride of Sodor, but Sir Topham Hatt was actually referring to being on time as the Pride of Sodor, not an actual engine. Nonetheless Thomas thinks that he is the Pride of Sodor.
Later Thomas boasts to his friends at Tidmouth Sheds about him being the Pride of Sodor. The other engines don't believe it. This makes Thomas very upset. The next day Thomas tries to tell all his other friends about being the Pride of Sodor. They don't believe it either. Poor Thomas becomes very upset. Will he learn what the Pride of Sodor really is?

Well I hope you have enjoyed this whole season. I must say it's been years in the making. I take much pride in the fact that I created my own season of Thomas and Friends. But I'm not satisfied with making just one season. I plan on making many more. I've written all of Season 2 and half of Season 3. I also have written a feature length film that will air between those two Seasons. I only have to film all the Narrow Gauge Scenes in Season 2 and then I will have Season 2 up for everyone to see. I may not upload one every week any more though. Don't lose hope on us because we will return as soon as possible. Thanks again to all you wonderful fans who have been on this journey with us. Check back at this blog often because I will post updates on Season 2 and have many more other posts about Tomy/TrackMaster/etc. See you all soon! Peep! Peep!

We are now down to our final 2 episodes of this season. Donald and Douglas finally get to star as the main characters in this one. It is entitled "Twin Races" I bet you can never guess what those twins are going to be up to in this episode. I hope you guys can see my sarcasm in a lot of this. Anyways, I think everyone will like this episode and the the adventure that the scottish twins get to have.

I must explain something. So far after 28 episodes Donald and Douglas have never been the main characters of an episode, they have only been supporting characters. I need to apologize for that. I do really like Donald and Douglas and I hope that in the future they can return to the TV series. The reason why they have had so little roles is because when I was writing this first season a few years ago I only owned Donald. I eventually got Douglas, but I wrote for a while with Donald being the only twin appearing in my stories. When I got Douglas I changed a few of Donald's roles to Douglas. Only problem was that I had not an episode of them together. So I came up with this episode.

In this episode Donald and Douglas are tired of double heading trains together. So when Sir Topham Hatt asks them to double head another train. They demand that they pull it separate. To make things more interesting too they decide to divide the long train in half and then the two engines race to get the train to the other side of the island. The twins like this idea. They begin the race and fly down the tracks side by side. I love this race scene because of the Thomas and Bertie's Great Race theme in the background. It's classic Thomas racing with some of our favorite old friends. Who is going to win this race?

During the race there is a good lesson about thinking ahead and making sure you can do everything you need to. Towards the end there is a very good lesson on how even if friends or siblings bug you and you are annoyed with them you still go and help them. You don't just leave them on the side of line. Well, it's a weird moment. There is only one more episode left in this season. Obviously there hasn't been a building overall plot or anything that will be concluded. Instead, we are going to get a very basic story with the main character of the series, Thomas himself. Be sure to come back next Thursday for the Season Finale Episode 30 - Pride of Sodor.

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's adventure away from the rails. This week we get another episode about Thomas'roadway friends. I bet you'll never figure out who the main characters. And if you do I'll just tell you the title is "Terence & George" So it's probably going to be about George and Terence. These two vehicles haven't actually met each other before in both my series and in the TV series.

In this episode Terence leaves for the works because he is feeling ill. When he comes back he finds that the road next to his field is being paved by a road crew. The construction is very noisy and annoys Terence. In the midst of the construction, there to smooth out the new road is nonetheless George the steam roller. George doesn't seem to be too happy to be there.

Terence finally decides to ask George if they could be quieter. George just laughs at Terence. Terence later takes a cart to Elsbridge where he talks to Thomas and Bertie about George. Thomas remembers George all too well. That night Terence goes to sleep and George continues to pave the road. His crew isn't sure where the road should go so they pave through Terence's field. It's not a pleasant surprise for the farmer in the morning. What will Terence do?

Hope you enjoy this episode. That concluded the two roadway friends episodes for this season. I've already gone through and written a few more episodes about our roadway friends. They'll definitely be back in Season 2! Also, be sure to come back next Thursday for an adventure with our favorite Scottish twins in "Twin Races" See ya next week!

Hope you enjoyed last week's adventure with Thomas and Toby. This week we get to have an adventure with some of Thomas' roadway friends in an episode entitled "The Vicar's Party" We haven't had very many adventures with our non-rail friends, so I hope everyone enjoys these adventures.

In this episode The Vicar of Wellsworth is getting ready for his annual garden party. Everyone is excited about it. One day Bertie and Trevor are talking about the party. Bertie wonders how the Vicar plans to out do last year's party. Tevor isnt quite sure what he'll do to top it. Later Bertie disappointingly finds out that he won't be taking the children from the village in the valley. Caroline is instead going to take them. But while taking the children she begins to experience engine troubles. Will Bertie come help out?

This episode and the next one are sadly the only two episodes designated to not be just about the railways. The roadway characters in Thomas almost never have main roles they are always just supporting cast or will only make cameos. I think they add more variety to the series. So, I feel bad not having more episodes about these characters . I promise I will give these characters much more air time in future seasons.

I hope everyone enjoys seeing Bertie, Trevor, and Caroline. Come back next Thursday for another episode about our roadway friends in "Terence & George" and I bet you cant guess who the main characters of this story will be.

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's adventure with James, Percy, and the Quarry Trucks. This week Thomas and Toby get to enjoy an adventure with cattle entitled "Market Day" Where we find that the two engines get different jobs than usual on market day.

In this episode Thomas and Toby are atFfarquhar station when the station master comes out to tell them their new jobs for market day. Thomas is going to take a special train of cattle to the market and Toby gets to take a passenger train. The two engines don't normally get to do these jobs so today is a very exciting day for them. Thomas is excited because he thinks that cattle are easy to pull. Toby has worked with cattle before and knows the trouble they can cause.

Toby tries to warn Thomas, but Thomas is too cheeky for his own good and doesn't listen. Later Thomas finds trouble with the cattle cars and is upset. Toby is going around taking his passenger train when he sees Thomas. He can tell Thomas is having trouble and tries to give him some advice. Thomas becomes upset at Toby's advice. Will Thomas be able to handle the cattle?

This episode teaches the lesson about listening to one another. Don't always think you know the only right way to do things. Others might have a better way and you'll only find out if you listen. Be sure to come back next Thursday for our new adventure in "The Vicar's Party" be sure to come back because we only have a few more episodes till the season is over.

Last week we enjoyed our good old friend Duck and his adventure in the water. This week we get to see how Percy and James are getting along with some of the naughtiest trucks on the island in an adventure entitled "Quarry Trucks" Because of how the bigger engines only put the naughtiest trucks in a siding that goes up to the quarry.

In this episode the opening explains how the trucks get moved around the yard. There is a special siding in the yard thatthe bigger engines shunt empty trucks from the mainline into. Percy collects the trucks and takes them up to the quarry. If the trucks don't get shunted into that siding they're used again on the mainline. The bigger engines notices this and only put the naughtiest trucks in that siding and now they cause problems for Percy and the other branch line engines.

One day the trucks had caused some problems for Percy the small engine. He tells Thomas & Toby about his troubles. James sees Percy complaining and tells him to stop whining. Percy gets cross and tells James he won't shunt him his goods train. So James shunts his own train, but ends up taking some of the quarry trucks. The naughtiest trucks on the island. James now has to deal with the tricks that these trucks have planned. Will he be able to handle it?

Hope you enjoy the episode! Please go and subscribe if you haven't yet. I promise it's worth it. And also, make sure to come back next Thursday for our next adventure with Thomas, Toby, and some cattle in "Market Day"

Hope you enjoyed our rescue crew adventure with Oliver last week. This week we get another adventure with another great western engine. This week Duck gets a chance to see what it's like to be a real duck in our next adventure. It's entitled "Things in Water"

In this episode Duck is getting ready to take a train of fish from his branchline down to the harbour to go with the flying kipper to the mainland. Duck is waiting with Oliver in the yard when Henry comes in. They all talk about the time that Duck ran into the back of the flying kipper in a Season 4 episode entitled "Fish" Duck still doesn't like fish. Later Duck takes the train from the branchline to the docks.

While Duck is heading down his branchlineHenry goes to the docks to take the flying kipper. On the way his axles feel stiff so when they reach the docks his driver oils them. The oil runs down Henry's wheels and makes the tracks slippery. No one is aware of it though. The docks is also full of rolling stock so the only place for Duck to stop is the quay. Duck goes to stop on the quay, but slips on the oil and can't stop and goes sliding into the ocean. Poor Duck.

This episode is similar to Percy takes the plunge. I wrote it kind of as a joke about Duck's name and how ducks swim in water. Hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to come back next Thursday for an adventure with James and Percy in "Quarry Trucks"

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Hope everyone enjoyed an adventure with out good old friend Toby. He didn't get very many episodes to himself this season, but I promise that in the future he will get more of his own. This week we get to see what it's like to be on the rescue team. No, not like The Sodor Search & Rescue Center in the cgi series. I personally find that a big waste of space. In this episode Thomas gets himself into some trouble so it's up to Oliver to save the day. This episode is entitled "Hooray for Oliver"

This episode begins with Thomas being a really useful engine taking coal cars up his branchline just like a normal day of work. However, when he crosses the red bridge part of the bridge collapses and Thomas' last two cars fall off the bridge. It's a terrible mess. Luckily, Oliver is in the yard and can come to help out. The yard manager tells him that he needs to collect two trucks of supplies, two flatbeds, the breakdown train, the works unit coach, and a truck full of ballast.

Oliver gets to work and collects the different trucks that the yard manager asked him to get. He even goes up the little western to collect the truck full of ballast. He doesn't realize that the truck he collected is Scruffey. Scruffey was put back together after the time that he tried to tease Oliver, but Oliver ended up pulling him entirely apart. Scruffey is out for revenge. Will he get it?

This episode just shows what the work that takes place in cleaning up after an accident is like. It's not very fun. So just don't make any messes and then you don't have to worry about cleaning them up. Be sure to come back next Thursday for our next adventure with Duck in "Things in Water"

Well last week concluded the rivalry between Gordon and BoCo on who is better Steam engines or Diesel engines. I think Gordon will be good for quite a while now. One character who hasn't gotten much spot light in my series is getting an episode all to himself. This week's episode is entitled "Toby's Surprise Party" So I bet you can't guess who the main character of this episode is.

In this episode Lady Hatt wants to throw a surprise party for Sir Topham Hatt's Birthday. She wants to keep Sir Topham Hatt away from Knapford so they can setup the party by all the engines. Lady Hatt asks Toby if he'd be willing to take Sir Topham Hatt around. Toby is happy to. He picks Sir Topham Hatt up at Wellsworth and heads to the viaduct because he knows that Sir Topham Hatt will like the view from the viaduct. Sadly though while Sir Topham Hatt is standing on the bridge his hat gets blown off! Now Sir Topham Hatt is very upset and demands to go back to his office at Knapford Station so that he can grab another. (He doesn't like showing off his baldness.)

Toby knows that he can't take Sir Topham Hatt back so he takes him to the village in the valley to go find a new hat just for his birthday. Sir Topham Hatt goes to a hat store in the village, but doesn't find a shiny black top hat. The store is filled with funny colored hats. Sir Topham Hatt decides that a funny looking hat is better than no hat at all, so he buys himself a bright pink top hat. Toby can't help, but laugh when he sees the controller. Sir Topham Hatt is embarrassed and demands to go back to his office. Will Toby be able to keep Sir Topham Hatt away?

This episode shows how doing favors for friends can help one another.Toby was kind enough to help Lady Hatt out and look at the great party they had at the end because of it. Please like, share, and subscribe! Be sure to come back next Thursday for another brand new episode entitled "Hooray for Oliver"

Thursday, May 9, 2013

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's adventure with our friend Henry. This week we get to conclude the arguement between Gordon and BoCo that begun with BoCo losing his guard and led to Percy and Mavis' dispute. The story continues in this week's episode entitled "The New Fuel" referencing how steam engines and diesel engines use different kinds of fuel.

In this episode Gordon thinks that he is on top of the world since BoCo left his guard behind while pulling the express. Gordon thinks that this proves he is far better than BoCo. The other engines are now sick of Gordon's bragging. James gets after Gordon one night, but Gordon fights back and jokes about the time James ran into some tar wagons. This just upsets James.

The next day Gordon is taking a train of fuel to the other railway. He is still being very rude. He arrives at Wellsworth and needs Henry to help him up the hill. The two engines work together and get the train to the top of the hill. On the way down Gordon sees a red signal and tries to stop. Henry doesn't see the signal and colides into the fuel tankers at the end of the train. The fuel flies all over Gordon covering him. He is very upset. BoCo is passing by with a passenger train and stops to help clean up the mess.

Gordon finally got what he deserved. He also got to try out diesel fuel for the first time. I think Gordon would be wise to just stick with coal and water for now. Be sure to check back next Thursday for an adventure with our favorite tram engine Toby in "Toby's Surprise Party" See you next week!

Hope everyone had a fun time with Bill and Ben last week. This week we get another adventure with our green friend Henry. Yes Henry has learned his lessons about brake vans so he won't be having that problem again. This time he gets into an argument with Gordon about a special train of plumbers that Sir Topham Hatt asks him to pull. Hope everyone enjoys this week's episode "The Plumber's Express"

I love the rain scenes at the beginning of this episode. I liked it so much that I actually designated episodes in Seasons 2 & 3 to specifically have cloudy background and the rain effect on the video. It should be good. I haven't filmed it yet though. I'm still working on finishing everything with Season 1 and then constructing all the new little buildings I'm going to use. So that's a little update on current production.

In this episode, a flood after a rain storm ruined the plumbing system at the village in the valley. So a special train of expert plumber's was hired to repair the village. Sir Topham Hatt asked Henry to take the train. Gordon thinks this is a ridiculous train to take. He thinks that plumber's have a nasty job and don't deserve respect. This makes Henry sad. On his way to pick up the train he fills up on water. While he is filling up, garbage from the storm that was left in the water tower is now in Henry's tanks. Henry is later taking the train and has a pain in his pipes. The crew isn't sure of what to do, but they found out that the plumbers do. So the plumber's come to Henry's rescue.

This is a good episode on remembering that even if someone does a dirty job, they still deserve respect. Everyone should be respected no matter what. There is a certain level of respect that everyone deserves just because they are a person. Be polite unlike Gordon too. Come back next Thursday for an episode that might just conclude Gordon & BoCo's arguments in "The New Fuel"

Hope you liked last week's adventure with Percy and Mavis. It brought the idea forward of not "Steamies vs. Diesels" But how diesels have taken total control of the mainland. It doesn't make any sense to me that in thecgi series all these new engines appear from the mainland, but most of them are steam engines. It doesn't make any sense to me, but then again most of the cgi series doesn't.

In this episode we get to go back to the China Clay Works on Edward's Branchline. Edward, Bill,Ben, and BoCo are waiting at the docks for Gordon to arrive. Gordon shows up with a special inspector who is coming to inspect the branchline. The twins think he is funny. Gordon tries to warn them about the inspector, but it is no use.

Later Bill and Ben are asked to take two seperate trains. One is a line of empty trucks that need to go back to the China Clay Works and the other is full of fruit that need to go to Wellsworth Station. The dock's manager tells them 1 whistle for the track to Wellsworth, and 2 whistles for the track to the China Clay Works. Bill thought it would be funny to have fruit trucks at the China Clay Works so he whistles twice and goes down the wrong tracks. Ben comes later and gets sent down the wrong track. He puffs back and whistles twice to go to the China Clay Works. What will the inspector do when he finds out?

This is a good lesson on knowing the right place and the right time to do things like pranks. Be sure to come check back next Thursday for our next adventure. Episode 20 - The Plumber's Express!

Thursday, April 18, 2013

Any trueThomas fan should've enjoyed last weeks episode emphasizing on the important ofbrake vans. This week we get to head back up to Thomas' branchline to see what is happening between Percy and Mavis. Things haven't been going so well since Percy has begun listen to Gordon's rants about how evil diesels are.

In this episode Gordon is on another rant about diesels. Talking about how horrible they are and what not. Percy has been over hearing these rants. It scares little Percy when he hears about steam enginesgetting melted down. Percy begins believing Gordon about how awful these diesels are. That later causes troubles because it affects the way Percy treats Mavis the diesel engine. Mavis becomes upset. One day she decides to ask Percy about what's wrong. Percy explains about how scared he is and then suddenly becomes angry. He tells Mavis that she just like her stripes, Hazardous! Mavis becomes deeply offended. Will Percy be able to apologize and get Mavis' forgiveness?

This episode is really good at showing how we shouldn't stereo type people into certain categories or groups. Learn about an individual first before you make an assumption. Just like an old Thomas song goes "Don't Judge a Book By it's Cover" Be sure to come back next Thursday to watch our next adventure. Episode - 19 Inspector Troubles!

Wednesday, April 10, 2013

We've spent the last two weeks with friends on Edward's Branch line. This week we are heading back to the mainline to see what our good friend Henry has been up to. It's now summer time on the island of Sodor and the island has become very busy. Henry doesn't like all the extra work.

In this episode Henry has been complaining to the other engines about the extra work. The other engines are annoyed too, but not as much as Henry. Henry decides that the brake van at the end of his train is just adding extra weight making the train heavier. So he comes up with a plan to get rid of the brake van. When he is asked to take a train, he purposely shunts the break down crane in front of his brake van and then adds his train. He is running late and the foreman sees what has happened. So he just tells Henry to run without the brake van. Henry is pleased, but will he be able to properly brake now without his brake van?

I mainly wrote this episode because of the lack ofbrake vans in the early cgi series and the late model series. Hit Entertainment didn't see much of a point having them be there. I've always liked them they were more aesthetically pleasing to me. Even when I didn't have a Tomy brake van I would add a box car at the back of a train just to look better. Lately things have improved in the CGI series. In Season 16 brake vans were seen on almost every train and new brake vans were introduced to the series too. It seems like this will continue with Arc Productions from what I've seen with the King of the Railway Trailers.

Hope you enjoy this and understand why brake vans are important for braking. Also I heard that a DVD of Season 17 episodes is going to be released in April called Railway Mischief. I really hope the writing style has changed from the "3 strikes your out" story outline. If it doesn't change in this season then I will have lost almost all hope in the writing style improving any time soon. I just want them to go back to simple and creative stories while taking advantage of the fact that these stories are about trains and not just average people. Anyways be sure to come back next Thursday to see Percy and Mavis in a little dispute in Episode 18 - Diesel Danger!

Thursday, April 4, 2013

Last week we enjoyed an adventure with the China Clay Twins. This week we get to enjoy another adventure about an engine who works on Edward's Branchline. Today's episode is about BoCo and his rivalry with Gordon. Gordon is complaining about how he use to meet up with steam engines, but now only diesels are on the other railway.

This episode begins with all the engines getting ready for the day's work at Tidmouth Sheds. Gordon is on another one of his rants about diesels. BoCo sits quietly in the sheds not even bothering about what Gordon is saying. After a while he begins to be annoyed. He finally snaps back and tells Gordon that he can pull the express just as good as him. The two engines then decide to trade jobs for the day so BoCo can pull the express.

BoCo becomes too anxious about pulling the express. He becomes impatient and ends up leaving the station too fast. The guard isn't able to hop aboard the train and BoCo leaves without him. Everyone is shocked to see what has happened. BoCo later gets stopped at Wellsworth Station. He finds this odd because the express only makes one stop at Crovan's Gate during the trip. BoCo finds out about his missing guard. What will he do now?

Hope you enjoyed this new adventure about our friend BoCo. Come back next Thursday and see Henry in Episode 17 - Brake Van Troubles

Thursday, March 28, 2013

James sure had a fun time last week with his adventure on Trickity track. This week we continue our adventures on Edward's Branch line. However Edward is away to the other railway so his jobs are divided up between Bill, Ben, and BoCo. The other engines are surprised to find out that Bill is upset about having to pull Coaches instead of Trucks.

In this episode Sir Topham Hatt comes down to the docks to inform Bill, Ben, and BoCo that they will be doing Edward's work while he is away at the other railway. Bill becomes upset when he has to pull coaches. (Secretly he is just scared because he has never pulled a passenger train before) BoCo tries to convince him about how easy it is to pull coaches. Bill is still upset. When he goes to collect the coaches. He carelessly bumps them. The coaches become very upset with Bill and want revenge. They bump him down Gordon's Hill and he almost crashes into a goods train.

After these events Bill definately does not want to pull coaches. He trades jobs with Ben and instead shunts trucks around theChina Clay Works. Everything goes well for the swap between the two engines. Except one night Gordon is bringing a midnight express through when he runs out of coal. Ben has to go help him. When Bill wakes up he realizes he can't trade jobs. Will Bill be able to handle the coaches?

This is a good episode on mishaps and misunderstandings.Bill didn't want to make the coaches mad. He was just scared because he hadn't pulled a passenger train before. The coaches misunderstoodBill and sought revenge. Be careful and try to understand the whole story before you jump to a conclusion. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe! Also like our Facebook page and follow our News Blog. Next week we will get to see an episode aboutBoCo and a mishap with a guard. It's also cleverly titled too! Episode 16 - BoCo& the Guard. I know, such an original title!

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Last week we enjoyed that fun adventure of Thomas and Bertie. This week we are pleased to release the next adventure, Episode 14 - Trickity Track! We are going back down to Edward's branchline for this episode. It centers around a bumpy piece of track that Edward and BoCo jokingly call Trickity Track.We'll see what problems this track can cause for the engines.

This episode begins with James becoming very cross at Edward for taking so long at the wash down. Later Edward is taking a train down his branchline and crosses over Trickity Track, a bumpy part of the line. The trucks joke and sing a song about trickity track. When Edward arrives at Knapford the trucks are still singing. The other engines are confused about trickity track. Edward explains it to them. James over hears and teases Edward about it. Edward doesn't mind.

Later Edward must go take some workmen up Duck's branchline. So Sir Topham Hatt asks James to pull Edward's goods train. James does so without a thought of the dangers of trickity track. James carelessly puffs down the line and approaches the bumpy tracks. Will James be able to stop himself from going off the track?

Remember to listen to others and not be stuck up like James. James should've been more careful about trickity track since hearing Edward complain about it. Listen to others to keep yourself safe is a good moral of this story. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe! Also, come back next Thursday to see ournext adventure with the china clay twins in Episode 15 - Bill and the Coaches!

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's adventure with Duck. I know that Duck is a very popular character among older fans and since he doesn't get much airing time in recent series. I hope you enjoyed a new adventure about our classic friend. This week we get an adventure with our number one friend, Thomas the Tank Engine himself! This week's episode is entitled "A Friend with a Plead" kind of a twist on the old classic title "A Friend in Need" Hope everyone enjoys this new adventure about Thomas and Bertie.

In this episode Bertie has heard all about the differet accidents that engines have been having like Edward and his brakes, Percy's Haunted Jobs, etc. Bertie teases Thomas about all these accidents. Thomas becomes upset and fummes away angrily. Bertie doesn't seem to take any notice and goes about his work.

Thomas' branchline is in need for repairs on the tracks so Thomas is taking a train of workmen up the line to flag areas that need repairs. Thomas is busy all day taking the workmen around. Bertie later sees Thomas and tries to say hello, but Thomas is still cross and just ignores him. So Bertie continues on. He reaches Elsbridge station. The tracks on the railway crossing are in need of repair from the workmen that are with Thomas. Bertie drives on the crossing and his driver loses control and Bertie runs right into the signal box. Just moments laterThomas arrives with the workmen. Will Thomas be willing to help his friend?

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's episode of Gordon and his special guest. This week we are pleased to release Episode 12 - "The Moaning Duck" Lately Duck has been having some boiler troubles and its caused him to moan when he puffs. The big engines love to tease him about this. Normally Duck would fight back, but he is too tired to even try.

In this episode Duck has gotten a small crack in his boiler and has been causing him lots of boiler trouble. With this boiler trouble he has a hard time puffing and he moans when he puffs. The big engines think that his moaning is so funny. They enjoy teasing him about it. Duck is very annoyed, but doesn't have the energy to fight back like he normally would. James and Gordon each take their turns to make fun of Duck. Later Duck gets back to the yard and talks to Oliver about it. Oliver suggests that Duck ask Sir Topham Hatt if he can go to the works. (Obviously Oliver didn't mind being there.)

So Duck tries to ask Sir Topham Hatt that night at the sheds, but no use. Oliver just got back from the works so Duck's branchline is now running full power. Sir Topham Hatt doesn't want to take another engine away from the branchline. Duck now has to just tough it out sadly. The next day he is taking a passenger train to Knapford. James is at Knapford and finds out that he and Duck are set on a collision course. Will James be able to stop Duck in time?

This episode is a great lesson on how some predicaments in life can actually end up saving us in the end. Think of the positive end of things and just know in the end that everything will be alright. Be sure to come back next Thursday to see Episode 13 - A Friend with a Plead!
